The changeover for Subaru from C1 to C2 was maybe MY08 or MY09. One of the discs should have worked if burned correctly, probably MY09 uses C2. Did you get an error message, if so what was it?

Mazda RX8 WhereIs (Australia) DVD after v14? Any ideas?

I own a Mazda RX8 in Australia. The luxury model which comes with an in-dash SatNav screen and WhereIs DVD (mine is version 14).
WhereIs do not publish any more updates and cannot help me. Mazda Australia washed their hands off this and blame WhereIs.

With a 5 year old mapping DVD, many road changes, especially in Sydney, are not able to be found on my v14 DVD.
I tried to do the right thing and actually buy an updated map DVD but to no avail.

1. Has anyone else faced this problem, and/or has anyone found a way around it.
2. Can I re-create a DVD using a maps later than v14? Is so, how?
3. Has anyone managed to use another manufacturer's maps in the installed RX8 SatNav hardware unit?

AFAIK, all dvd-based Mazda unit use the C2 DVO Dayton type system so i moved your post here. Can't be certain that your MX8 unit is the same as the other dvd Mazda models though, your feedback would be appreciated.

The google docs link in Post #29 is still active for V19 C2 disc, compressed 1.1GB and quite fast dl. Not sure if the torrents are still being seeded. There is a V20 we believe, but not posted yet for C2 only C1 is available.

Post again if you need more help, but only after reading this thread.

Just checking in to let you know the V19 C2 Subaru disk worked perfectly in my MY09 Lancer. Burnt to an Imitation DVD-R @ 4x speed and then verified. Took all of 10 seconds to register the disk in the unit as well (from memory it would take a few minutes to initialize when the power went off or I changed the maps previously).

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread, I hadn't updated my maps since V15 where I had to beg Mitsubishi to give me the maps for free instead of $350 as I had 2007/2008 (V14) maps in a car sold to me in 2009.

G'day daveee, welcome to GPSPower and thanks for your report. Interesting that you managed to get an update to V15 out of Mitsi for your MY09 Lancer. My MY10 Liberty came with V14 and no amount of bitching got me anywhere with them. [Bitsaremissin: 1. Subi: 0.]

Nobody seen a C2 V20 disc yet?

Mitsubishi might have been a bit more customer focused back then. It was a few years ago now though!

I've found Subaru don't really give a crap about customers at all, when buying the Lancer I was looking at the Impreza too and there was zero negotiation to be had. It was simply "this is the price, if you don't like it f*** off" attitude. Hence why I bought the Mitsi instead!

5 failed attempts with new ASUS laptop multi-drive with Windows, then InfraRecorder software.
Then finally succeeded with old (>10 years) external Pioneer DVD burner at 4x and InfraRecorder v0.46.2.0 (2008) on a new Imation DVD-R disc.
Works in Mazda CX-9 (2009).
